0005: APPLES

Cutting an apple in half to see the 'flower,' apple slinkies, the miracle powers of apple seeds, frozen apple juice, a really crisp apple that's sweet but still tart, toffee apples, apple crumble and the list goes on. One of natures best creations. Mood booster extraordinaire.

0004: PRE-HOLIDAY BUZZ

Packing, phone calls, hotel stalking, itinerary checking, last minute catch-ups with friends. Its all very exciting. Driving to the airport and sitting down on that plane, finally, is the most exciting and happy thing. Just knowing that you have your entire holiday in front of you is so wonderful.

Speaking of which, I'm leaving for Italy for 2 1/2 weeks tomorrow, so I won't post for a while. I will be dormant. Anyway, I hope wherever you are, you are safe and happy :)

0003: THE SMELL OF RAIN ON HOT CONCRETE

Its a hot day. Mmm, it would be nice, but its cloudy and humid. It ruins it!! (That was a Golem quote) Anyway, you start to feel down when, oh yes, that lovely smell of rain on hot concrete hits your schnoz in all its glory. HAPPINESS. Encapsulated in a simple sweet fragrance.

0002: TEA

Without a doubt, tea is a very happy thing. It is thirst quenching, tasty, extremely beneficial to your health, serves many practical purposes (eg waking you up, energising, making you sleepy), suitable for many occasions and a hug in a mug. One of the greatest things known to man-kind.

0001: SLEEP AFTER ADVENTURES

Surely, one of the things that can make anyone happy is coming home from an adventure with every single memory freshly implanted in your mind and every battle scar or wound starting to heal, and laying your down on your own pillow in your own bed and falling into a good, long sleep. ahhh... such a happy, happy thing. yes, sleep itself is happy, but on occasion, it is disrupted, scary, uncomfortable, frustrating, to short or broken before something amazing was going to happen. but sleep after an adventure, that is always good.

PREFACE

Before I kick things off, I would like to say, please do try to hold on through the frenzies and entries at ungodly hours of the magic of strawberry spiders, liquorice snakes and catching worms in the rain. Anyone out there reading my blog, please do not hesitate to contribute a joyful creation of this planet. Ok, here I go. Wish me luck.
